Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle.

Chapter 135 Gilderoy Lockhart and the Dog (page 12)

Areopagus, also known as Areopagus, is a small rocky mountain located to the west of the Acropolis.

In the ancient Greek era, the Ares Mountain Council was built above it, which was an important political institution in charge of trial and law in ancient Greece.

Unexpectedly, the modern Greek Ministry of Magic was established here.

but…

"You guys didn't build it in the mountains, right?" Mu En asked awkwardly.

"How do you know?" The woman was a little shocked, and then she remembered what happened just now, fear and surprise constantly intertwined on her face.

Before she could react, Mu En suddenly pointed out his finger and touched her forehead. He pulled out a wisp of silver twilight and disappeared in the air.

"You must go to the ministry with me!" the woman said seriously.

"Of course." Moon nodded and looked back at Harry: "What do you think?"

Since the last time he saw Uncle Mu En modifying his classmates' memories, he has become quite accustomed to this skill, but he was still a little frightened, and then nodded quickly.

"Very well, give me your hands." The woman nodded and spread her palms out.

After holding the two of them in her arms, she glanced left and right to make sure no one was observing the surroundings, and then apparated away with the two of them.

At the foot of Ares Mountain, in an uninhabited forest, two figures, one large and one small, suddenly appeared on a path.

"Uh... ugh..." The woman was dizzy and retched: "You... why are you so heavy?"

"Is it the weight when apparating?" Mu En looked at her.

"Yes, I am...ah! I feel like my head is going to explode, like I haven't slept all day!"

"Take a deep breath, dizziness is normal." Mu En glanced around casually, and then noticed a stone wall at the bottom of the mountain, where the trail disappeared.

On both sides of the path, there are two olive trees.

Needless to say, the significance of olives to Athens goes without saying.

"Is this the entrance?" Mu En asked.

"That's right." The woman supported the tree and kept taking deep breaths. "This road connects to the main road outside, but No-Majs can't see it. So don't worry."

"So is that guy also from your Greek Ministry of Magic?" Mu En pointed behind the woman.

The woman turned her head, only to see a man wearing a dazzling purple suit and purple robe, with beautiful blond hair shining in the warm sun, walking over with his head held high.

"Oh, my God! Don't you know him?" The woman looked at Mu En in surprise.

"Who is he?" Mu En twitched her lips: "You'd better not tell me what kind of traffic star he is."

"Gilderoy Lockhart! You don't know him?" The woman looked at Moon in surprise: "He should be very famous in the UK! "My Magical Me" has been on the best-seller list for several months in a row. , I bought both the English and Greek editions, these are people from your country!”

"If you say that again, I'll have to go inside and steal something!" Mu En shook her head maliciously.

"Is this some kind of British joke?" The woman looked a little embarrassed.

Mu En nodded and did not answer directly.

But as soon as this woman was introduced, he really remembered her.

Gilderoy Lockhart, this guy's books seem to be selling very well at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore. His books were the first thing you saw when you walked into the bookstore.

As always, he glanced at it casually and then didn't pay much attention to it.

It's just a thriller about dealing with low-level magical creatures. It's suitable for...well...it's suitable to be read as a leisure novel.

Just as he was thinking about it, the man also came over. He noticed the gazes of the three people and straightened his collar: "Oh, seriously, how did you know that I planned to pay attention to the theft of cultural relics.

Seriously, don't come to greet me. I don't want to appear too ostentatious. They are just two little thieves. "

Mu En stared at him thoughtfully, and in her eyes, the majestic spiritual power pressed toward him tentatively.

Lockhart's eyes were clear and he asked: "Oh, friend, don't look at me like that. Although I know that we don't often see members of Sir Merlin, but you don't need to be too nervous."

Mu En was a little surprised, this...

With such flamboyant clothes and words and deeds, he must be a wizard with a high spirit. Why didn't you respond to his temptation? !

"Strange..." He shook his head. I don't intend to force the test further, it would be a bit rude, and it would be the same as meeting Legilimency for the first time.

What he just did was knock on the door. If no one responded, he wouldn't break the door open and have to go in.

Harry glanced at Moon in confusion and saw him spreading his hands and turning towards the stone wall of the entrance.

From behind, a woman's voice sounded.

"Mr. Lockhart, what a coincidence it is to meet you here. My name is Elsa Lezlie, and it is a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too." Lockhart shook hands with her, smiling broadly, revealing his eight standard teeth, which seemed to make a "ding" sound under the sunlight.

"What brings you to the Greek Ministry of Magic?" Elsa asked.

"Oh, speaking of this, originally this was just an ordinary trip, but somehow your Auror knew that I was here and kindly invited me to come and see the theft case that happened a while ago..."

Mu En didn't quite hear what was said behind him. At this time, he had already led Harry into the Ministry of Magic.

What came into view was a dark tunnel with bonfires rising around it. Walking forward, a moving statue sat in the middle of the road.

The statue is of a blindfolded goddess wearing a golden crown, the only thing about her that is not marble.

Wearing a slim-fitting white robe, he holds a sword in one hand and a scale in the other. And on the body, there is also a beam stick leaning on it.

From top to bottom, they symbolize dignity, purity, sanction, fairness and the rights represented by the stick.

Under the bundle of sticks, there is an attractive snake entwined, and there is a dog beside it.

They represent hatred and friendship respectively, meaning that neither of them can affect true justice.

The same is true for blindfolding. Fair punishment does not rely on vision, but relies on ideas!

At this time, on both sides of the passage, ordinary wizards or workers at the Ministry of Magic were all being peered and explored by the snake and dog.

It seems that if "sin" is discovered, he will be judged immediately.

"This is Themis, the symbol of law and justice." Moon patted Harry on the shoulder and led him forward.

After walking past the statue under the gaze of snakes and dogs, they came to a wider corridor with huge gray stone bricks under their feet. On both sides of the corridor, towering Doric and Ionic columns stood. Above, in order, are the twelve gods of Olympus.

The two at the front are Zeus holding a thunderbolt on the left and Hera holding a staff on the right.

Mu En's eyes briefly paused on the figure holding the trident, and then walked forward.

A wizard stopped the two of them: "Hello, I want to ask you two to take care of something."

"We are tourists here to make a report." Mu En said.
